Instructors, black belts, and brown belts, by now the new manual should have been thumbed through a few times. Exciting, right? Has everyone taken a look at the updated curriculum? The new kihon will challenge your students, and give them that satisfying feeling of accomplishment! If you haven’t ordered yours, contact HQ.

The JKR Manual 2.0 publishing has been delayed due to formatting issues with Amazon. As soon as it is ready we will send out a very excited email to all instructors!

The Yudanshakai Executive Council appreciates your patience and understanding.

There may have been a bit of confusion when it came to our JKR Database site. JKR Database is a separate login from JKR.com site. Consider them different websites. Separate. Independent. Divided. Unaccompanied. You get the idea.

Instructors: please make sure you register yourself so your students can find you in the drop down.

Make sure to take a look at the JKR Calendar for different seminars, instructor training, and other JKR-related events coming up. Email headquarters@jkr.com to get your event up on our calendar!
